Expedition to TryETT with Braden Bales - Sadness Into Songs, Growing On Tik Tok, and Finding SweatshirtsEvery time I listen to Braden Bales on Spotify, I'm baffled. It makes no sense hearing Braden's beautiful, emotional lyrics and seeing less than 3000 monthly listens and under 10k followers on Tik Tok. Braden is a prime example of a talented musician who deserves way more recognition and therefore I am hyped to have him on the show. Braden is a 19 year old singer/songwriter from Canada who turns his emotions into music. He always had music around him growing up and eventually started making his own. Using his ADHD to his advantage, he sits with his thoughts and...

Expedition to TryGlobal WarmingMy housemate TJ and I discuss his life as a PhD student studying philosophy, his career choices, hobbies, and passions in an attempt to make some sense of our lives.
